A message from Roy and Jimmy, the people behind the vision.

We believe that no student should have to face their challenges alone
Co-founders Roy and Jimmy

Looking back at our time in school, we were frustrated at how much time we wasted.

We both excelled in our studies, completing engineering degrees with first class honours. However, we always felt like we could have accomplished so much more.

From our experiences seeing thousands of students, we saw firsthand the amazing impact that the right mentor can make. We were proud to see our students become who they are today.

We want every student to have that same opportunity.

MyTuition was launched in 2014, and set out to make this vision a reality. Since then, we've supported and have seen thousands of students succeed in their high school journey, putting them in a great position to pursue whatever is next for them in life.

This is our team

We're a company that's out to make an impact in the world. Every day, we strive to become better versions of ourselves, and to help others to do the same.

We're proud of the team and the culture that we've built, and we're energised to come in to the office each day to work towards our mission.

Alice

alice@mytuition.au

Alice graduated from the University of Auckland with a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting & Finance) conjoint with Science (Computing). She then went on to complete her Chartered Accountant qualification, spending several years working at Deloitte.

Alice always thought she’d be in corporate, until she became a mother, which completely shifted her perspective. It made her realise just how powerful the right education, support, and people can be in shaping a child’s confidence and future.

That’s what led her to MyTuition. Alice joined the team wanting to make a real difference - helping students grow and believe in themselves to become the best version of who they can be.

And outside of work? Her greatest passion is cooking and buying food for everyone around her. If you’re nearby, chances are you won’t leave hungry.

Roy

roy@mytuition.au

Roy is the founder of MyTuition and looks after the team here. He graduated from the University of Auckland in Software Engineering with First Class Honours conjoint with Commerce in 2013.

As a person who loves helping others, and as someone who was fortunate enough to have an incredible mentor back in high school, it only made sense for him to build a tutoring company.

He founded MyTuition with a close-friend while just finishing university, while working another job - until MyTuition grew so busy, it took over his life. That's when he realised he needs some team members, which is how the MyTuition team grew.

Now, a father to a two-year-old daughter, Roy enjoys taking Amelia on play-dates on the weekends.
